Mercedes-AMG G 63 is no ordinary car. With a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 producing 585hp, the car is nothing less than a beast. It is fitting, therefore, that it’s launch was a grand and magnificent event. From various important personalities of the industry to famous faces from Bollywood – every A-lister in town was present for the launch. Actors Kartik Aaryan and Jimmy Sheirgill spoke about the car and added to the glamour and excitement of the event.

Hosted by Leeza Mangaldas, the launch event of Mercedes-AMG G 63 was kickstarted with an introductory speech by Michael Jopp, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Mercedes-Benz India. He spoke about the features of the car, and about the theme of the event – Stronger Than Time. Stand-up comic Nitin Mirani hosted two Q&A sessions with Kartik and Jimmy around the same theme.

“It’s important to change with time. Your personality has certain traits for which people know you… somewhere, you have to retain that essence,” Jimmy related his thoughts on timelessness. Being a Mercedes-AMG G 63 owner himself, he said, “I just bought it six months back. It was a dream since, I guess, college.”

One trait that Kartik found in himself to be stronger than time was the ability to stay true to his roots, much like the Mercedes-AMG G 63. “I am attached to my roots. I think that’s what keeps me relatable,” said Kartik.

The Q&As were followed by a special performance by the popular singer Raghu Dixit, who rocked the stage with his band. The event came to an end with a lavish spread of food and drinks, which was laid out for the guests.
